Basics of t ransm iss ion
The job of the transmissionis to change the speed ratiobetween the engine and thewheels of an automobile.
The transmission uses arange of gears to make moreeffective use of the engine'storque as driving conditions
change.

PROBLEMS WITH MANUAL & AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSI
The traffic condition has become
annoying in our big cities.
In such a case will automatics
transmission make sense to theIndian customer.
But conventional automatics
always consume slightly more fuelthan manual transmission and the
lack of sophisticated automatics.

Today automobiles use either a conventional manual orautomatic transmission with multiple planetary gear setsthat use clutches to achieve discrete gear ratios .
The continuously variable transmission replaces discretegear ratios with infinitely adjustable gearing through oneof several basic CVT designs
Introduction of CVT

Overv iew of a CVT:
Varies the transmission ratio continuously
Shifts automatically with an infinite number ofratios.
Seamless power delivery
Constantly changes its gear ratio to optimizeengine efficiency
Allows the engine to rev almost immediatelyto deliver maximum torque

Components of
CVT
1.A variableinput driving pulley
2.An output(driven) pulley
3.A metal belt/rollers
4.Sensors and microprocessors

Working principle
A pair of variable-diameter pulleys, each shaped like a pair ofopposing cones, with a metal belt or chain running between them.
One pulley is connected to the engine (input shaft), the other tothe drive wheels (output shaft)
as the pulley halves come closer together the belt is forced toride higher on the pulley, effectively making the pulley's diameter
larger.
Changing the diameter of the pulleys varies the transmission'sratio.

Simulation of CVT
Push Bel t
This belt transmits power betweentwo conical pulleys, or sheaves, onefixed and one movable .
A sensor reads the engine output andthen electronically increases ordecreases the distancebetween pulleys, and thus the tension
of the drive belt

Toroid al Tractio n Drive CVT:
Uses rollers to transmit torque between the inputdisc and output disc.A viscous fluid transmits torque between rollers anddiscs.
Rollers and discs never touch.
The angle of the rollers changes relative to shaftposition resulting in a change in gear ratio.
The change in angle by a roller must be mirrored bythe opposing roller.

ADVANTAGESDecreases engine fatigue
infinite number of gear ratios,maintaining the engine in its optimum powerrange
More mechanically efficient than Automatictransmissions.
Greater fuel efficiency than both manual andautomatic transmissions.(Fuel savings of more
than 17%).
Smooth, responsive and quiet to drive

CVT Vs. Manual Transm issio n
Theoretical comparison under ideal
conditions
1991 FIAT UNO
M=1250 KG,TORQUE=101.2 NM
0-100 KMPHMT-11.9 SEC /CVT-8.8 SEC
CVT proved 35% more
efficient than the MT.
With same car andengine, the CVT takesonly 75% of the time toaccelerate to 100km/h,
compared to the MT.

DRAWBACKSLimited torque capacity when comparedto manual transmissions.
Additional gear train required for reverse
conditon.
Larger and more costly than manual
transmissions.
Unwillingness to discard billions ofdollars in development in MT & ATs.

The IC engine is nearing both perfection andobsolescence; advancements in fuel economy andemissions have effectively stalled.
CVTs could potentially allow IC vehicles to meet thefirst wave of new fuel regulations
Costs will be reduced further and performance willcontinue to increase.
Ultimately it will give CVTs a solid foundation in theworlds automotive infrastructure.
Future of CVT
